Jackie Messaggi

I currently work as a graphic designer freelancer, as an income supplement, for online platforms, developing advertising materials, web interfaces, branding, social media, and illustration.

Squilo Comunica was a local advertising agency focused on helping small businesses. As an art director, I was in charger of the creative design and conception of several companies and materials, with emphasis on two big projects: the first one was Hola! Churros a food truck specialized in a Spanish dessert, and the second one, a franchise specialized in Hotdogs and Burgers called Sr. Garibaldi.

My second experience in the company, where I was the Art Director responsible for all advertising materials for the brand. I did the creative coordination for the fashion campaigns in Winter 2014, Summer 2015, and Winter 2015 collections, in addition to developing the entire process of 5 editions of Damyller magazine (editorial creation, casting, production, layout, finishing, and follow- up printing).

During this period, I worked as a graphic designer for some companies at Criciúma City and region, many of them focused on the industrial sector, reformulating branding, and creating print and web materials.

It was one of the largest advertising agencies specialized in the fashion retail and lifestyle market in Brazil. There, I worked specifically to create advertising materials for Artex: a big company focussed on home textiles, where I could conceptualize their website interface and app, as well as being responsible for creating the product catalog and merchandising pieces.

At this local advertising agency, I was responsible for creating advertising materials such as brochures, billboards, branding, social media, among others.

A famous Brazilian brand of jeanswear, where I could develop many advertising materials, to merchandising as well to web and social media. I was Damyller Magazine's creator and developer, a quarterly pocket magazine with the news, editorials, and fashion tips.
